Custom retrofit gauge pods in progress

[Gtseviper]

I didn't want my gauges for my turbo project over my head, so I decided to retrofit them next to my cluster...enjoy

Parts list
2" pvc pipe (white, black..whichever one you want..get from lowes or homedepot..less than $3 for about a 2 1/2 piece)
crazy glue (to glue the gauges to the bezel and the cloth to the pod and bezel)
small hack saw ( I also use a small torch and heated a knife to cut the lower curve of the bezel)
resin with hardener ( to resin the cloth/fiberglass)
spot and glazing putty
sand paper
elbow grease

real easy to make too...2" inner diameter pvc pipe, small hack saw, crazy glue, resin, cloth
I got the idea from another site in how to make customs gauges off to the side of the steering wheel, then I decided why not retrofit them next to the cluster

I plan to finish it up with some sanding, bondo and paint

X2 I agree, I really like that placement, it's clean and not in the way of anything.

Great work so far man. I like the idea of the guages not feeling out of place or thrown in. Very well thought out.

Nice!

Always wanted to do this for my turbo coupe. Reminds me of the aftermarket civic cluster.

Def great diy. I might consider this for a project since I have extra interior dash bezels.

Get some more progress pics up
